“Smart Things” are commonly understood as wireless ad-hoc networked, mobile, autonomous, special purpose computing appliances, usually interacting with their environment impli...
As military interest continues to grow for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) capabilities, the Air Force is exploring UAV autonomous control, mission planning and optimization techniq...
In a service-oriented architecture, systems communicate by exchanging messages. In this work, we propose a formal model based on OCL-constrained UML Class diagrams and a methodolo...
Recently, several algorithms have been proposed for using neural networks in dynamic analysis of small structural systems, and also constructing adaptive material modeling subrout...
We present a new method for multi-object segmentation in a maximum a posteriori estimation framework. Our method is motivated by the observation that neighboring or coupling objec...
